Puligny Montrachet, Les Pucelles, 1er Cru, 2009
justerini & brooks tasting note
Emanating from three parcels from the heart of the Pucelles vineyard situated next to Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet. Pure, mineral and fine but sweeter, more seductive and silkier than ever before.

93/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Medium yellow. Ripe stone fruit and honey on the nose. Fat and sweet but not quite as large-scaled as the Combettes, showing stone fruit and spice flavors. Best today on the insidiously long finish, which really saturates the palate with flavor. Plenty of verve here; still, I'd serve most of these 2009s a bit cooler than usual.
